PUMA® Signs Rising Golf Star Rickie Fowler by Curtis Begg |
|
On September 29, PUMA® announced twenty-year old golfer Rickie Fowler, who just turned professional, will join the sportlifestyle brand’s roster of world-class athletes, among them: track and field star Usain Bolt, baseball player, Johnny Damon, and race car driver, Kasey Khane. The partnership, reached through an agreement with PUMA and SFX Golf, will make the sportlifestyle brand Fowler’s official supplier of PUMA Golf product on and off the course. He will also be featured in the Spring/Summer 2010 marketing campaigns for the brand, specifically for the golf category. To celebrate, PUMA welcomed Fowler to the family at the Soboba Classic Tournament by surprising him with a tricked-out, motocross-inspired golf cart sporting the signature PUMA cat against the bold PUMA red background. The cart features a roll cage, off-road tires, a push bar and a state-of-the-art stereo system. Fowler will use the cart during the Pro-Am round, while he plays in a foursome made up of his father Rod Fowler and famed |

motocross racers, Jeremy McGrath and Brock Glover. Very much the home-town favorite, Fowler will be cheered on by thousands of spectators during the tournament. “Rickie brings a unique blend of sport and lifestyle to the game, which fits the PUMA brand perfectly. His wide ranging interests off the course brings a crossover appeal that will resonate with a whole new generation of golfers,” said Robert Philion, Global Business Unit Manager, PUMA Golf. “As the PUMA Golf business continues to grow worldwide, it’s important for us to have players in our portfolio who bring a sense of style and excitement to the world of golf, reinforcing our mantra of Look Better, Feel Better, Play Better.” |
